Patient is assessed 2 hours post procedure for other variables.
Theres no follow up required for the study.  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. Willingness for repeatability of the procedure as felt by patient.
2. Variations in heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), oxygen saturation (SpO2).
3. Duration of bronchoscopy procedure
4. Procedures underwent during bronchoscopy (Bronchial washing, broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL), bronchial brushing, endobronchial biopsy, transbronchial needle aspiration (TBNA), or transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB)

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary  

A written informed consent will be taken from all study participants. For patients who meet the inclusion criteria, demographic details like age, gender, height, weight, BMI, prior bronchoscopy procedure, current indication for bronchoscopy and the procedures done during bronchoscopy will be recorded in the study proforma.

Patients undergoing FB will be randomized in a one is to one ratio as per a computer generated randomization table and will be allocated to any of the two groups (Group A or Group B).

Patients in group A will receive nebulized dexmedetomidine at 1 mcg/Kg, diluted with 0.9% saline into 5 ml. Patients in group B receive 5 ml of 0.9% saline nebulization prior to bronchoscopy. A composite scoring will be done by observer C at the level of nasopharynx, during passage through trachea and when crossing the carina. Heart rate, cardiac rhythm. Non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), respiratory rate, and pulse oximetry saturation will be recorded before the start of bronchoscopy, monitored continuously during the procedure till its completion and 10 minutes post procedure. Patient is further assessed after 24 hours and asked to give their opinion on the procedure, the quality of sedation, discomfort, any adjustment needed in the dose of sedation and willingness for a repeat procedure if required
